I want to be wealthy > $20M with abundant time to work on side projects and hobbies.

Is it feasible for anyone in this economy to accumulate wealth without network?

With uprising of LLMs and AIs, my technical skills are becoming moot. Without any networks, it feels like climbing a mountain without any directions.

For context,

I am currently staying in Europe. I have zero skills/talent BUT higher degree in CS from European Uni. I am unable to learn the local language here. Want to move to USA because there are many jobs available that I look forward to.

Yes, I am unhireable here in EU because I am not qualified enough. The reason I want to move to US is I can speak or at least pretent to speak English. Although my accent is horrible and people barely understand what I say, I have better chance in US compared to EU.

As we all know, there are no jobs for juniors or new graduates. These categories of people are deemed as a waste of money (in context of current market.) Hence, it is not worth hiring them.

This means there is no experience to show to others straight out of the university. Now, there is one way which is to be lucky. The other unlucky ones have to grind and work hard. How much grind is necessary to enter the niche fields in computer science?

How can these new graduates enter difficult fields like Compilers, OS, DBs, Graphics, and Networks?

How much grind is necessary before it is considered enough?

I see a lot of people writing about note-taking and all the software around it. But how often do you review it?

I am curious because do you have a dedicated hour in your work schedule that you allocate for cleaning up notes? Otherwise, it feels quite counter intuitive to take those fleeting notes.

Given how swiftly the field changes, the notes also change in same rate. So wouldn’t it be better to just internalize the concept and create a db of the resource that was used to internalize concepts?
